Five Things You Need To Know About Migrating RSView32 To FactoryTalk View

1) FactoryTalk View Site Edition and RSView32 are licensed differently

To migrate an RSView32 system, you'll need a copy of FactoryView Studio Enterprise as well as a Station (runtime) license, or one Server and (at least) one Client license.

FactoryTalk View SE is also sold by Graphic Display count, not tag count. This change was made because View SE can directly reference PLC tags and device registers, which eliminates the need to create a tag database.

If you'll no longer need your RSView32 license after migrating, ask your local Rockwell representative to quote you the “Step Forward” price from the RSView32 you have to the View SE you would like to replace it with.

This discount, which does not require your old RSView32 license to be in support, is usually substantial and well worth your time to investigate.
